What is Pregnancy Tea?
Pregnancy Tea is our Raspberry Leaf Tea with additional herbs to maximise its benefits. Filled with Raspberry Leaf, Nettle, Chamomile, Oat straw, Spearmint, Alfafa and Rosehip; it is the perfect addition to the final trimester. Our Pregnancy Tea helps prepare you for labour, increases your supply, and promotes rest and healing.
Is tea good in pregnancy?
Some teas contain caffeine, which needs to be kept under 200mg a day during pregnancy. As a guide, expect a cup of white tea to contain around 15mg per cup, Green Tea 20mg per cup and Black Tea 45mg per cup.
Cacao also contains some caffeine. These teas and cacao also have significant health benefits through their polyphenols and antioxidants so can be part of a healthy pregnancy diet, as long as you are aware of your caffeine intake.
For women who love their Chai Teas, Rooibos Chai is perfect, as it is caffeine free and has no Star Anise. Star Anise is considered safe in small amounts in tea. In pregnancy you would avoid the essential oil of Star Anise or a concentrate.
Lavender is best avoided during pregnancy in medicinal quantities. It is generally considered safe in a tea form, but may possibly be unsafe, so we don’t recommend it in pregnancy.
Lemongrass is also best avoided in pregnancy due to its ability (in high doses) to initiate menstrual flow. It is excellent in breastfeeding though.
Hibiscus is not recommended in pregnancy.
How much raspberry leaf tea should you take during pregnancy?
We recommend starting with 1 cup from 32 weeks, 2 cups from 34 weeks and 3 cups from 36 weeks to prepare your uterus for labour. We do not recommend more than 3 cups per day to avoid over stimulating the uterus.
When should you start taking pregnancy tea?
Pregnancy tea can safely be consumed from 32 weeks gestation.
